Greeting the new year the Fever Brothers expand their team inviting Casimiro Erario & Soul Creative to proudly present a new sophisticated release. The protagonist is the piano, and the rest just flows through the night.

Erin Leah’s debut on Quantize (‘Rocker’) was met with a unanimous reception earlier this year, and rightly regarded as one of this years deep house favourites. When Erin sat down to write Radio Billie Stereo Ella, she began weaving a nostalgic landscape with jazz of the 1920’s and 1950’s in her recent thoughts with a style and purpose all her own, she began to tell the story in song. Erin works through a live instrumental that carries an old soulfulness of classical music but somehow feels like it is alive in today’s music world. It is comprised largely of live elements played without sequencing as shown in the piano, strings and percussion parts. She celebrates musicality with playful harmonics. Alongside the Original, Spen & Gary Hudgins deliver 2 killer jazz-licked reworks, with Spen & Thommy dropping a stellar trademark Dub. The ever impressive N’Dinga Gaba moves things a little deeper in the mix with another of his jaw dropping deep & smooth late night moments, with Seed in the City & Bradford Taylor James providing equally stellar deepness alongside Erin’s ice cool Original.

Quantize Recordings presents two bright new talents, DJ Greg & Hozay who bring the heat with ‘Give Me’. Enlisting the vocal talents of Lisa Moore, Greg and Hozay combine sunshine-filled melodies, jazzy keys and Latin percussion with the exquisitely poised vocal performance to devastating effect. On remix duties DJ Spen and Thommy Davis impart some melodic house soul into proceedings that showcase ‘Give Me’ in another radiant light. Quantize Recordings, a platform for both delivering hits from well established artists as well as gems from unearthed talents, are pleased to welcome DJ Greg & Hozay to the stable.

UK House producers come to King St with a tune de force that’ll be played for a good long time. The Original Mix, as heard recently on New Breed of Soulful House, with its superb production vibes, coupled with the dulcet vox of crooner Deon Nathan, has all the feel-good qualities of a soulful house record. Spinning us further into into a deeper groove are remixes by Tony Loreto and Chris IDH, Samson Lewis and Souldynamic, who give us some fantastic shuffling rhythms and pretty synth washes on their Main Mix and Dub.

‘Say Nothing’ oozes with classic house good vibes courtesy of Mr Fresh who delivers a catchy piano hook, signature boompty beats and a warm bassline, embracing Billie’s soulful song. Upbeat vibes continue to roll as the UK’s man of the moment, Matt Early, rolls out a super classy outing injecting a jazzy brass hook and delicious rhodes. Rounding off the package is a hot remix from Italy’s Niva, who aims for the main room with a peak time power punch.
